Abstract

Abstract The American Counseling Association’s ACA Code of Ethics (2014) makes clear that advocacy and social justice are to be integral elements of practice for professional counselors. LGBTGEQIAP + people have unique, intersectional, identity- and multicultural-related needs. LGBTGEQIAP + counseling services, supervision, education, and service cannot be truly appropriate nor effective without actively addressing the advocacy concerns and social justice issues facing LGTBEQIAP + people. Provided are cornerstone recommendations and assistive tools for addressing LGBTGEQIAP + advocacy and social justice, both within, and on behalf of, the LGBTGEQIAP + community.
